I offer experiential and body-centered psychotherapy for individual adults, couples, kids, and families of all kinds at reasonable fees.  I see people of all ethnicities, colors, ages, spiritualities, genders, orientations, and identifications.  LGBTIQ are very welcome.

A typical client for me is someone who is struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and/or a general sense of being stuck in life—that life has lost its spark or meaning.  I help clients reconnect to their passion in life, and to tap into their innate wisdom (that I believe lies within all of us).

I am skilled in working with unresolved abuse or trauma, grief, dissociation, self-injury (i.e. cutting, burning), and spiritual/energetic emergencies.  I also work with relationship and communication difficulties, Men’s issues, and can help navigate the complexities of alternative lifestyles.

I believe that kindness, respect, and compassion for oneself are the foundations of psychological/emotional healing and therefore I bring these qualities to my work with clients. I take a holistic approach to psychotherapy that honors the body, mind, and spirit.  I work interactively with a strong emphasis on mindful, present moment experience. 

I have a broad background that informs my work with clients.  In addition to a Master’s degree in Somatic Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies, I have trained Gestalt, Somatic Experiencing, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Formative Psychology, The Hakomi Method, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Parent-Child Interactional Training, and various psychodynamic models.  Several dance/movement practices inform my work as well, most notably Authentic Movement, Continuum, and Gabriel Roth’s 5 Rythyms.

I am at the Noe Valley Office where I can be reached at 415 364 3009.
